Synopsis

The meticulous account of the top military brass on UFOs in the United States. Written and documented by the former head of the Air Force Project Blue Book, the federal organization in charge of a formal government study of UFO's. "It is without question the most satisfactory and satisfying evaluation of saucer sightings to appear in print." --Cleveland Plain Dealer "Ruppelt’s book is an objective, calmly written work that should be in the hands of every sober student of the UFO mystery." --Baltimore Sun "His investigations, as his writings indicate, were thorough, unbiased and competent. I can think of no one better qualified to write on the Air Force activities in this regard. His book is a splendid account of this work, readable and enjoyable. It should be of wide interest to both the professional and the layman." --F.C. Durant III, President International Astronautical Fed.

About this title

About the Author

Edward J. Ruppelt (1923–1960) was a United States Air Force officer probably best-known for his involvement in Project Blue Book, a formal governmental study of unidentified flying objects. He is generally credited with coining the term "unidentified flying object", to replace the terms "flying saucer" and "flying disk", which had become widely known; Ruppelt thought the latter terms were both suggestive and inadequate. Ruppelt was the director of Project Grudge from late 1951 until it became Project Blue Book in March 1952; he remained with Blue Book until late 1953. UFO researcher Jerome Clark writes, "Most observers of Blue Book agree that the Ruppelt years comprised the project's golden age, when investigations were most capably directed and conducted. Ruppelt himself was open-minded about UFOs, and his investigators were not known, as Grudge's were, for force-fitting explanations on cases."
